The Turkish Embassy in Ashgabat presented a new emblem

Today, a new emblem of the Embassy was presented at the Embassy of Türkiye in Ashgabat.

Turkish Ambassador to Turkmenistan Togan Oral noted in his speech:

“The emblem is decorated with 16 stars, symbolizing the 16 independent Turkish states that have existed throughout history. In fact, our emblem is identical to all other Turkish embassies located around the world, but, perhaps, here it takes on a different meaning, since many of these stars symbolize thousands of years of our common history with Turkmenistan”.

The new emblem was presented within the framework of the celebration of the 31st anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Turkmenistan and Türkiye, the 500th anniversary of the diplomatic service of Türkiye and the 103rd anniversary of the opening of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country.

The ambassador also noted that the Turkish diplomatic service has 260 missions abroad and the fastest consular service. In terms of gender equality, there are 79 women ambassadors in the Turkish diplomatic service, 43% of the representation of women at the decision-making level.
